Roqe Ep#216 - The Uprising: RIP dear Kian Pirfalak, we must win this for you

As part of the Uprising “Voices from Inside Iran” series, Jian is once again joined by brave young voices from the frontlines of the demonstrations inside Iran. Guests include: Behgol, an artist and activist in Shiraz; Sam, a film director and musician in Tehran; “Sonia,” a young engineer and protester on the frontlines also joining from Tehran; and “Homa,” an outspoken producer/editor - in hiding the last time she appeared on Roqe - this time joining from Kashan. Plus Jian’s opening essay addresses the heartbreaking killing of 10-year-old Kian Pirfalak by regime forces in Khuzestan, and the Roqe Roundtable - joined by special guest, popular musician Reza Rohani - focuses on the protests in Iran marking the anniversary of Bloody November, the ongoing controversies about the forthcoming World Cup in Qatar and the participation of the Iranian National Team, and cancel culture and shaming for Iranian entertainers.
